Dining Chair

With its sleek, contemporary design, the Noble seating collection fits well in today’s modern healthcare environments. Combining these three models enables coordination. Yet each model alone creates distinctive seating environments within a healthcare facility. As with all Stance Healthcare furniture products, the Noble series is domestically manufactured and boasts superior strength in both materials and construction.

Perineal Washcloths

New SCA TENA™ Ultra Washcloths are premium-strength, premoistened washcloths that are soft and textured to provide gentle, effective, and convenient cleansing of fragile perineal skin. The new enriched moisturizing formula contains dimethicone, aloe, vitamin E, and chamomile. Suitable for incontinence care or general skin freshening, the washcloth cleans, moisturizes, and restores delicate skin.

Laundry Cart

Available from HD Supply Facilities Maintenance, this 2½-bushel capacity laundry cart has an air-cushioned bumper to minimize damage to walls in the laundry room and hallways.

Wheelchair Scales

Detecto’s wheelchair scales can store the weight of the chair, allowing clinical staff to simply roll the patient on the scale for convenient weighing.

Modular Carpeting

The High Line Collection from InterfaceFLOR® is a plush-like, chunky cut- and-loop product perfect for any senior living space. Rich texture created by multiple pile heights gives way to a subtle linear pattern. High Line offers a softer version of the clean sophisticated look of a wooden floor. The perfect modular carpet for high-end, but not stuffy, interiors. It is luxurious functionality at its best.

Laundry Injection System

The Maytag® Commercial Laundry Chemical Injection System features easy-access connections on the outside of the machine, eliminating the need to open the washer on routine visits.

Wascomat washers, available from 140 to 350 G-force extraction, are designed specifically for hospitals, nursing homes, and other LTC facilities.

It stops the machine automatically when drying is complete resulting in longer linen life and low energy use.

Wet Mopping System

Using Direct Supply’s Microfiber Cleaning System to mop floors can kill up to 60% more bacteria than traditional mopping. The system’s “one pad per room” design means that you’ll never clean your facility with dirty mop water. The system—composed of an ergonomic handle, a quick-connect mop head, and detachable, washable microfiber pads—uses 95% less chemicals and reduces cross-contamination better than traditional mopping.

Facility Bed

Medline’s Alterra 1232 Hi-Low Bed’s top height range of 26″ helps minimize the risk of back injury to caregivers. The bed’s lowest height level of 7.25″ makes it useful for Alzheimer’s patients and any other falls-risk residents. The Alterra 1232 moves from highest to lowest height in 47 seconds without any horizontal movement, preventing wall damage. A battery backup system, standard with purchase, keeps the bed functioning during a power outage or evacuation.

Wheelchair Washer

Medco Equipment’s all-purpose automatic wheelchair washer cleans and sanitizes up to 20 wheelchairs in an hour, with a 99.9% reduction of bacteria after one wash. The all-purpose washer also sanitizes commode chairs, shower chairs, walkers, carts, and more.

No special plumbing or electrical hookup is needed. With a simple one-button operation, detergent and rinse agents are automatically dispensed, with more than 300 washes per gallon each. The washer is built with heavy-duty stainless steel and has four permanent swivel/locking casters for easy transport.

Washer-Extractor Control

The new UniLinc control from UniMac, with 30 water level options, offers the benefits of saving thousands of gallons of water and realizing energy savings just by making the smallest adjustment to water levels and hot water. When UniLinc’s 41 programmable cycles are combined with the UW’s super-high 300 G-force extraction cycle, which reduces drying times and utility consumption, washer-extractors can provide maximum water and utility efficiency.
